Claim: Hybrid vehicles help eliminate air pollution.
Which counterclaim makes a straw man fallacy?
A. People who buy hybrid veicles are idiots.
B. There are more practical ways to eliminate pollution.
C. Hybrid vehicles are usually quite expensive.
D. Forcing people to buy hybrid vehicles is wrong.

Straw man fallacy subverts the main(original) idea and acts as the counterattack to negate the basic thought. It displays no affiliation to the actual idea and presents a strong disagreement with it. It develops a counter idea to nullify the effects of the original idea. Thus, the option that best suits and justifies this claim would be the last option i.e. "Forcing people to buy hybrid vehicles is wrong" as it contributes to debating and arguing the significance of "hybrid vehicles" and hence, creates a powerful subversion to the initial idea. The other options do not seem as impactful as the last one.
